Shennecossett is a great and challenging golf course. The clubhouse, restaurant and bar are a lot of fun. The food is great at Par 4, they have 100's of beers on tap and great views. I have read some negative reviews and can only say that the powers that be have decided to maintain everything in a traditional fashion. But, that being said if you didn't like it stay in Massachusetts and we'll be fine.Peace
